Why are some of these adapter "without glass" and this one is "with" glass? Is there a reason to buy one adapter over the other? Thanks!

For minolta lenses on Nikon bodies it is necessery to have a glass lens on the adapter

The adaptor I own enables me to use my Minolta, manual-focus, Rokkor lenses on a Nikon camera; and, with telephoto lenses, it works very well. The main difference between an SLR and a compact camera, is that the SLR's use a mirror, at 45-degrees, between the lens and the film, to enable the viewer to see an actual optical-image of what the film will 'see.' Some adaptors, without-glass, will enable Rokkor lenses to be used on cameras that do not have this 45-degree mirror, because these cameras are much slimmer. The Sony Nex series are an example.

These adaptors are designed to allow lenses produced by one manufacturer to be used with the cameras made by another manufacturer. They overcome the physical incompatibility of the means of mechanical attachment. However, different manufacturers's lenses differ, in addition to their means of physical attachment, also in the distance from the light-sensitive-film that each manufacturer intends his lenses to be mounted. Some distances ('lens register') are longer, some shorter. When a lens requiring a long 'register' is mounted on a camera requiring a longer one, then all that is required is an adaptor of the correct thickness. When a lens requiring a short 'register' is to be used with a camera requiring a longer one; then, in this case, it is the camera itself that is too 'thick;' the lens cannot then be mounted sufficiently closely to the film, and for an adaptor to work it, will need an additional lens to persuade the transmitted-light to be sharply-focused some distance further away than would normally be the case.

I assume you mean the adapter is opposite of what the picture shows? Mine came exactly as shown in the picture.

You'd likely have to search for this that glass part. Try looking up the listing and see if there are any manufacturer codes on it. You probably can find a replacement in Amazon or other online marketplaces. Worst case, order the kit again, it's value priced, and keep the other parts as spares. Just a thought.

I'd like that my answer be helpful, but I'll have to tell you that I bought this Adapter in error! The V's were OK, the mA's were OK, too; but I forgot everything about the plug tip, which was not the one needed! (Although it was my mistake, I've noticed that Adapter vendors don't pay too much attention to the tips! Hence, my [our] mistakes!) The vendor told me "no remorse", and I accepted it! - On the other hand, the Adapter looked all right to me, but I ignore its effectiveness! Henfry,

Nope! But the vendor I got from thowed in the reader. You can get a separate adapter from any other maufacturers.

I only use the one adapter ring for all. If you use separate ones, I'd think you run the risk of wrecking the thread on the camera. I'd rather wreck the threads and replace the filter than the camera! (Keeping the camera and adapter as one unit)

Under the specifications in the product description it says that the adapter is not included.

Hi Tammera, you don't need an adapter. Everything is included and works great! Catherine

Hi. As a previous responder stated, the adapter is going for 300+ on ebay. I actually have no use for mine as I have a new 3d tv. I would be willing to sell you my adapter (works great with original box) and three pairs of Optoma zd101 glasses if you are interested. Make me an offer :)

without a glass corrective lens, you will not be able to focus to infinity. With any of these adapters you have to stop down the lens manually. I have never seen one of these which is really worth buying. The picture quality simply isn't there with these converters. If it was everybody would use their old lenses....and few do. Forget it is my advice.

I agree with the first post on this question. The threadless adapter is a separate purchase. I did not need it though. You don't need a lot of stem to attach the regular adapter. A couple inches maybe.

You will need to buy an extra adapter. One is included in the package, the other one is an accessory.

Mine didn't require another adapter. It has a threaded hole on the bottom where I was able to connect it to my tripod.

I use mine for a second second monitor so I can dual screen. I have used both for different purposes. I like the cable because it takes up less space next to the computer, whereas with the adapter you have a weird box that can get in the way.

I don't remember if one came with it or not. It was cheap enough that I just . . . well, if it was there, I probably tossed it. But I'm very happy with the adapter.

Not is a problem, is normal. Adapter complete is for telephoto (extended lens). Half adapter, without final part, is for wide angular (compressed lens). Tunnel effect is present if you use the adapter without this considerations
